Biomechanical Force and Cellular Stiffness in Lung Fibrosis

Richard S. Nho et al.

Summary: Lung fibrosis is characterized by the accumulation of ECM proteins by apoptosis-resistant fibroblasts. Lung epithelial injury leads to fibroblast recruitment and activation, which are necessary for tissue repair. However, under pathological conditions, a vicious cycle of profibrotic factors and cell-matrix signaling promotes the development of lung fibrosis characterized by increased ECM proteins and changes in matrix properties. Understanding the role of ECM in fibrosis can lead to new therapeutic targets and improved outcomes.

Mechanical characterization of articular cartilage degraded combinedly with MMP-1 and MMP-9

Allison Mixon et al.

Summary: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade the extracellular matrix (ECM) subsequently damaging cartilage and altering biomechanical properties. Individually, MMP-1 and MMP-9 have minimal effect on cartilage micromechanical properties, but synergistically the two enzymes digest ECM components and result in a greater degradative effect.

Empagliflozin Disrupts a Tnfrsf12a-Mediated Feed Forward Loop That Promotes Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Veera Ganesh Yerra et al.

Summary: Empagliflozin attenuates left ventricular enlargement and reduces myocyte hypertrophy and fibrosis in mice with hypertrophic heart failure, potentially through limiting the upregulation of inducible, proinflammatory, and prohypertrophic TNF superfamily receptor Tnfrsf12a.

Substrate Stiffness-Driven Membrane Tension Modulates Vesicular Trafficking via Caveolin-1

Dariusz Lachowski et al.

Summary: Liver fibrosis is a common manifestation of chronic liver injury, and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play a crucial role in this process. This study reveals a mechanism by which matrix stiffness regulates plasma membrane tension, leading to increased secretion of TIMP-1. The expression of TIMP-1 and caveolin-1 is also found to be increased in cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

The Stiffness of Cardiac Fibroblast Substrates Exerts a Regulatory Influence on Collagen Metabolism via α2β1 Integrin, FAK and Src Kinases

Malgorzata Galdyszynska et al.

Summary: The study found that the stiffness of cardiac human fibroblast substrates affects collagen metabolism through integrin alpha 2 beta 1 and its downstream signaling pathways. Cells cultured on soft substrates showed increased collagen content, while cells cultured on stiff substrates exhibited elevated levels of FAK and Src kinases.

Substrate Stiffness and Stretch Regulate Profibrotic Mechanosignaling in Pulmonary Arterial Adventitial Fibroblasts

Ariel Wang et al.

Summary: Pulmonary arterial adventitial fibroblasts (PAAFs) play a crucial role in fibrotic vascular remodeling during the progression of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), responding to increased stretch and substrate stiffness by upregulating the expression of various genes. Differential regulation of gene expression by stretch and stiffness may provide insights into potential regulators of vascular adventitial remodeling in PAH in-vivo.
